Hello,

Pushed!

As discussed on IRC with Julien and others, I tried to actually fork
systemd and strip everything but src/locale.  Unfortunately that turned
out to be pretty tricky because of all the systemd-internal utilities
being used (allocation, string manipulation, etc.)

If someone is willing to give it a try, I can share what I have so far!
